A vein stripper is a reusable surgical tool used to remove sections of varicose veins through a procedure called stripping. It manually excises diseased or dilated veins—often in the legs—by pulling them out via a controlled avulsion technique, improving circulation and reducing symptoms like pain or swelling.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments and may require compliance with general medical device safety standards. They are often supplied sterile or as reusable instruments requiring proper cleaning and reprocessing before use, depending on local medical device regulations.
